  • Spending more money or time than you planned
  • Trying to win back money you have lost
  • Hiding how much you spend or how long you play
  • Borrowing money or selling things to keep playing
  • Feeling anxious, irritable or restless when you are not gambling
  • Missing meals, sleep, excursions or time with friends to keep playing

Before you play

  • Set a budget for the whole cruise and leave your cards in the cabin safe
